Cleaning modern coins

[mick56]

How do you clean modern coins, that only have face value? A lot of the pennies I find have some corrosion on them, and my bank won't accept them. Lots of the quarters and dimes are black, how do you clean them up, too?

Mick..........go by one of your local craft stores and pick up a rock tumbler. Should run around $25.00. Get a bag of course sand from Lowes and the rocks in the tumbler kit or from your driveway and you are ready to o go. I just cleaned about $30.00 in chad and it look new. TomB
